In the Be

It's funny, but I notice that people always think that there is a something they are "supposed" to do next, or supposed to "be" next. That there is a "someplace" to go, or "somebody" to become. There's this amazing future pace that they feel like they are moving towards, but they forget that they are already there and always have been.

They were born there, in the be, they have been living it every day of their lives. They miss the part that says "you are here", though.

The trick is that they have believed that they are less than, and missing something. That is the lie that they believed.

It isn't about "becoming." It isn't about "arriving". It isn't about "doing" anything more than what you are and who you are and how you are.

It's believing that you are here. You are perfect. You always have been.

Are you living, breathing, expressing your truth every day? Not planning to do it tomorrow. Believe in yourself now. That's all.
I know, it seems too simple. Surely we have arrived now after all THIS work? And surely there is something to do now that we have arrived?

Trick. You arrived the moment you were born. The "work" has been a glorious affair of spirit. Live your truth. YOUR truth. Not for someone else. For you, and you will do the thing that you were born to do.

Live. Give thanks for the day, the breath, the way. That's it. BE your light. The way finds you.

That's what Akiane does. She was born without the fear and karma to clear. She just simply sweetly knew who she was and where she came from. She acknowledges HER truth, and she does it every day. She didn't set out to do anything more than to put brush to canvas as an expression of her light, at 4 years old. What is the expression of your light? Her mission statement was "I paint what I have seen". Glory glory! And she changes us for her truth. Her mission has evolved but that was the truth. She remembered, and she reminds us to remember.

No one is burning her. No one is calling her a lier. No one is condemning her to prision, or torture or any sort of punishment. She is light. She reminds us to be our light.
